Kanpeska

Kanpeska lies among the grass-covered dunes of the Nebraska Sandhills, near the Hyannis lakes. Beneath the sand lies the Ogallala aquifer; where its water table meets the hollows between dunes, shallow lakes and wet meadows appear. Some lakes are fresh while others contain alkaline salts. The contrast between open water and wind-shaped sandy ridges gives this part of the plains a distinctive landscape.
